CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis: CCSVI PreCongress Meeting, report

Dr. Claude Franceschi- Director of the Paris Hospital Vascular lab spoke next on the Hemodynamic Factors of CCSVI.The venous system is responsible for draining tissue, and the central parameter of drainage, transmural pressure, is changed when venous drainage is impaired. If TMP is too high, tissue suffers, edema and inflammation and vein dilation results.Extra pressure on the nervous system comes from cerebral spinal fluid. Hydrostatic pressure is posture related- changing when the patient is supine or standing. The residual pressure- in which arterial blood surges into the venous system- is reduced in micro circulation. There is an increase in DR (downstream resistance) which is blocked by an obstacle. Obstacles can cause collateral veins to open as vicarious shunts and CSF will be excessive, causing edema and plaques. Cerebrospinal tissue is more sensitive to this. He believes the answer to CCSVI may lie in postural therapy,

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis back in 1983. I can hardly walk now and it seems my condition worsens every day. When I first heard about the Liberation procedure and its results from a friend, I thought United States would be the first to conduct the trials. I could never imagine the corruption involved. I ended up applying for this simple procedure in Poland and waiting.. The other options were to get it done in India. After researching the internet extensively, I came across http://www.ccsviclinic.ca/ . They are screening for CCSVI in Fargo, ND and have very affordable packages for the Liberation procedure in India. I called (404)461-9560 and spoke to their nurse administrator Lisa whose priceless support made me realize that we are not alone in the fight against MS. They are screening within the US and Canada, their medical travel package includes flight arrangements and help with the visas, world class accommodation and meals within their hospitals, the liberation procedure, a stent if needed, medications necessary, a site-seeing tour, Pre-and post-procedure supervision, Full medical file including copies of charts, screens, CDs of Venograms, blood work, EKGs, etc. Post Procedure Screenings, follow-up and consultation with surgeons for the next 6 months and so many other provisions Lisa told me about, I can’t recall however you might be able to find out more on their site.. http://ccsviclinic.ca/?page_id=564 . They are providing all of this at just $13000 as compared to the other companies that charge something like $20000 just for the procedure. You may also contact Lisa by emailing her at apply@ccsviclinic.ca or calling her on (404)461-9560. I am getting liberated mid- November and I am so very thankful to everyone at CCSVI Clinic for making this happen!

It is estimated that the failure rate of the “liberation therapy” may be 50% or higher, even through the most experienced surgeons in Poland & Albany. As more people receive the therapy there is growing concern amongst patients that http://www.ccsviclinic.ca/?p=765 the procedure needs to include a post-procedure protocol that is more effective than simply releasing the patient from the hospital within a day.

After 6 months of offering stem cell therapy in combination with the venous angioplasty liberation procedure, patients of CCSVI Clinic have reported excellent health outcomes. Ms. Kasma Gianopoulos of Athens Greece, who was diagnosed with the Relapsing/Remitting form of MS in 1997 called the combination of treatments a “cure”. “I feel I am completely cured” says Ms. Gianopoulos, “my symptoms have disappeared and I have a recovery of many functions, notably my balance and my muscle strength is all coming (back). Even after six months, I feel like there are good changes happening almost every day. Before, my biggest fear was that the changes wouldn’t (hold). I don’t even worry about having a relapse anymore. I’m looking forward to a normal life with my family. I think I would call that a miracle.”Other recent MS patients who have had Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT), or stem cell therapy have posted videos and comments on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFQr2eqm3Cg.

Dr. Avneesh Gupte, the Neurosurgeon at Noble Hospital performing the procedure has been encouraged by results in Cerebral Palsy patients as well. “We are fortunate to be able to offer the treatment because not every hospital is able to perform these types of transplants. You must have the specialized medical equipment and specially trained doctors and nurses”. With regard to MS patients, “We are cautious, but nevertheless excited by what patients are telling us. Suffice to say that the few patients who have had the therapy through us are noticing recovery of neuro deficits beyond what the venous angioplasty only should account for”.Dr. Unmesh of Noble continues: “These are early days and certainly all evidence that the combination of liberation and stem cell therapies working together at this point is anecdotal. However I am not aware of other medical facilities in the world that offer the synthesis of both to MS patients on an approved basis and it is indeed a rare opportunity for MS patients to take advantage of a treatment that is quite possibly unique in the world”.Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure by which blood-forming stem cells are removed, and later injected back into the patient. All stem cells are taken from the patient themselves and cultured for later injection. In the case of a bone marrow transplant, the HSC are typically removed from the Pelvis through a large needle that can reach into the bone. The technique is referred to as a bone marrow harvest and is performed under a general anesthesia. The incidence of patients experiencing rejection is rare due to the donor and recipient being the same individual.This remains the only approved method of the SCT therapy.For more information visit http://ccsviclinic.ca/?p=838.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysFiW26MHfQ&feature=player_embedded#t=0s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfSOmij8tfk&feature=youtu.beOver the past year, CCSVI Clinic and its researchers and specialists have been studying the Combination venoplasty/autologous stem cell infusion protocol developed by Regenetek Cellular Technologies with the collaboration of outside labs and bioproducts manufacturers. As laboratory techniques gain ever-increasing sophistication based on new scientific methodologies for enhancing somatic cells into preferred lineages in vitro, the therapeutic outcomes for patients with neurological disorders have also been improving. Deb O’Connell who was treated at the Clinic in mid-September, 2012 recovered so quickly from her serious long-term degenerative disease condition that she experienced a wave of improvements while still in the hospital.It’s a matter of medical record that Deb had been wheelchair bound for 10 years (completely non-ambulatory) with multiple co-morbidities when she entered the program on September 9; she was 9.5 on the EDSS scale as assessed by a neurologist, was down to 80 lbs in body weight, could not breathe effectively, speak, or take in food by mouth due to dysphagia. Her pain was chronic and significant. When she left the Clinic on September 24th , she walked out of the doors and into a waiting van to go to the airport. At the time of her discharge from the Clinic, she could breathe normally, effectively speak once again, eat any types of food she desired and her pain had all but disappeared. At the time of this writing she is back home in Canada and reports that she continues to recover (especially her contractured hands), shows no signs of new disease symptoms, and has gained 18 lbs since her therapies, less than 3 weeks ago. She has now begun a regular physiotherapy program and is gaining walking strength and balance. The recapitulation of the course of her disease (MS) within days, provides evidence that the in vitro requirement of cell pluripotency has correctly been identified with respect to adult cell source origin, time, and manipulation in culture. http://www.ccsviclinic.ca/?p=1084http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysFiW26MHfQ&feature=player_embedded#t=0shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfSOmij8tfk&feature=youtu.be

About Me

If you control your breathing and deliberately slow it down,
your heart rate will also slow down. anxiety, apprehension, worrying, fear etc
can have a direct effect on heart rate.

The main circulation I.B.T. logic:

The theory behind Inclined bed therapy is that for every
breath exhaled we release a tiny pulse of denser solutes back into the main
arteries which gravity can act upon in favour of the circulation, which in turn
affects the venous return and stroke volume in the heart. This will cause the
heart to become more efficient at moving the blood around when we are on an
inclined, and when walking. Standing still and sitting applies direct pressure
to the vessels and surrounding muscle, ligaments and skin tissue and narrow the
vessels so the heart backs up pressure ( a main cause of feinting)

Shallow Breathing

The same scenario also applies to rapid shallow breathing,
we still release pulses of denser blood back into the main artery and after
passing back through the heart these solutes are drawn down the artery but
there are more of them, even though they are not as concentrated as when the
lungs are fully inflated and deflated from slower deeper breathing. This serves
to accelerate the heart and the respiration and I believe it is the main cause
of asthma hyperventilation.

School Girl Asthma attack

While out walking the dogs, I came across 2 schoolgirls, one
looking terrified and crying the other in hyperventilation having an asthma
attack. She was in serious trouble. Right away, I said listen carefully, she
nodded unable to talk and in distress. On breathing out count to 5 seconds
before inhaling try to repeat this for each breath, which she did.

Within 2 minutes her breathing and presumably her heart rate
had returned to normal, she became relaxed and the attack was ended. They both
thanked me and with smiles wider than the grand canyon walked calmly as if
nothing had happened.

Before reading the following article, apply the density
changes released by exhaling to the explanations given in it.

Also take into account the action of breathing into a paper
bag for hyperventilation. Here it would serve to eliminate the density changes
in the lungs due to breathing the same volume of moist air in and out of the
lungs so that no pulses of solutes will enter the main artery. Result:
breathing would return to base line rapidly.

I can also hear my own heart beating while laying on an
inclined and have experimented many times slowing down my breathing by releasing
a longer slower exhale and counting to 5 seconds or more before inhaling. I can
hear the changes in my own heart rate within 30 seconds.

Normally, while sleeping on an inclined bed the heart rate
slows down and the respiration rate slows down significantly by 10-12 beats per
minute and 4-5 breaths per minute, which is a huge difference to a person
sleeping flat. The same changes took place in 2 sleeping dogs (who didn’t mind
a stethoscope) on an incline.

While awake however, as previously stated, we can consciously
and subconsciously alter our breathing and the angled bed will make use of the
number of breaths we take either way. Even subtle changes in breathing can
start a steady acceleration of the heart, which in turn inflates and deflates
the lungs quicker in a vicious circle, but now you know how to intervene and
reverse this.

So please experiment with this method of controlled
respiration and do come back and let us know what you find.

You can also purchase a professional stethoscope from ebay
as I did for a few dollars / pounds, so you can observe the changes more
effectively.
